Spice in the Kitchen: Gluten-free Pear Rhubarb Crumble

Necessity is the mother of all (ok, some) recipes. Like today, I had four pears just loitering on my counter and two bored pieces of rhubarb, so I decided to give them something to do. Crumbles are a great way to quickly use up fruit that is almost on its way to the compost pile. Even though I am not gluten-free, I like to challenge myself and create recipes for my gluten-free family and friends. If you are a gluten lover, then use flour by all means (see note). The rhubarb adds a nice tangy flavor to contrast the sweetness of the pears.
